Kris Roe is coming to The Picador in March. My high school heart is flipping out.

The lead singer of The Ataris will be performing a solo, acoustic show, rumored to be the entirety of Blue Skies, Broken Hearts. I'm not sure how to take this — perhaps a smaller, more intimate crowd, but far less dancing. Hmm... Here's the link to the video for "San Dimas High School Football Rules" — look how young they look. If that doesn't stir a little teen-angst nostalgia, nothing will. But how will that translate acoustically? I guess we'll find out.

Listening to The Ataris makes me want to destroy something. No? Watch the crowd in this video for "Takeoffs and Landings" from So Long Astoria. Does that not look like the most fun ever?

OK guys, who wants to come with me?? Yeah, yeah? There's no place I'd rather be.
